About 33% of
all consoles sold at the end of the world with Xbox 360 3 red lights
error. When you realize that over 10 million units have been sold,
the figures are quite amazing. The central question that makes the
Xbox 360 3 red light error is due to the "X" clamps that are on the
motherboard and keep the heat sinks on the site. In addition to "The
X-clamps that were released, some of the welds is believed to be
defective, which also contributes to the problem. In essence, the
GPU and CPU off the motherboard.
Due to tight design and limited ventilation, overheating is the main
cause suspicion. The temperature inside the Xbox 360 gets up and
makes the "X"-clamps to enlarge. Once the unit was shut down it gets
cooler and the contract of clamps.
As this continues, the continuous expansion and contraction can
cause the CPU and GPU to disconnect from the motherboard. Fixing
this problem requires that we open the console, take the plate out,
remove the "X"-clamps, remove the heatsinks, clean out the previous
thermal paste, install thermal paste and replace the "X"-with clamp
screws and washers. Once complete you put the board back into the
console and reassembly.
Overheating for 20 minutes, let cool and then on again. Must be
willing to go. All this information is freely available online.
There are detailed step by step instructions with free videos that
will make this process easy for you. I would not recommend buying a
guide. Save your money and buy a repair kit. The repair kit usually
costs about $ 7.99 and comes with a free guide. Check out rates for
sellers and free shipping too.
Even if they are not very good at fixing things, free guides and
videos I have reviewed almost guarantee success to anyone. While
fixing the 3 red lights error is easy, just make sure you get
quality information from a trusted source. That goes for repair kits
as well. One of the other great things about the guide and videos is
that they have to spend money before you decide to go ahead with the
repair.
